Dalton Discussion 5: Ligand Design for Functional Complexes

Noordwijkerhout, near Leiden, The Netherlands
10 – 12 April 2003 

 

Organised by the Dalton Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry, in association with the Inorganic and Physical Chemistry Division of the Royal Netherlands Chemical Society (KNCV)

The discussion focused on ligand design for functional complexes. Ligand design has been, is, and will continue to be, crucial for the field of co-ordination chemistry. The meeting allowed significant cross-fertilisation and mutual stimulation from four major areas in co-ordination chemistry where new ligands continue to be of great importance.

Themes

• Ligand Design in Metal Separation, Transport, Recovery and Recycling
• Ligand Design in Molecular Materials and Devices
• Ligand Design in Homogeneous Catalysis
• Ligand Design in Biomimetics
